Certainly not.

In the happy times boats would communicate with Bdu (and hence other

stalk convoys. Attack orders where also given by Bdu and one boat
was generally ordered not to attack, but to send regular position reports.

There where some two dozen organized attacks like this in 42 involving
5-20 u-boats. The attacks often lasted several days or even a week or
more.

The point is; these where successful because they where organized and
involved communication. This is what SHV's AI encounters will not
include.

A wolf-pack without organizational and communication is no pack at all.
